You call my name

like I'm something special

speaking sugar sweet

words of affection

that should fill my heart

with joy and love

but my stare is blank

and your smile falters

this is too new

too much too soon

I clutch at my throat

unable to breathe

watching as you bleed

your love for me

and I say your name

with a gasp for air

as water fills my lungs

you crumple with despair

and I drown in you

what have we got left to lose?
